I heard about it aswell, but I don't think it will last and I don't think
you should follow every hype. There is much talking about it right now, but
I guess it will stop once the first excitement is over. I have tried the
web, but it is just too complicated for the average user to use
efficiently. If you want to try it, be sure to have a sound knowledge of
the concept of hypertext as it is the basis of the so called web (or world
wide web). There seem to be a few newsgroups dealing with this new
technology: comp.infosystems.www.*
